unlimited PTO
No vacation cap
Unlimited PTO is a workplace policy that doesn't cap the number of paid days off employees can take.
In theory, workers take whatever time they need; in practice, many take less than they would under traditional policies, either from guilt or unclear expectations.
Companies benefit by not accruing vacation liability on their books.
The job posting advertised unlimited PTO, but nobody on the team had taken more than two weeks.
